day 83 I have internet in my room??!

well its friday morning and i have internet in my room again. i hope it stays that way.

since the music class was canceled last monday we are having a makup class this morning when the office opens. at 9:30 it the first class so i assume it will last no more than an hour but i'm bringing a lunch anyway just incase. then i have an hour or two to do nothing and then i have german class we have to do 3 asagnments out of the book and i also have to write about 3 jobs that are odd for a man to have, ( nurse, phone operator, and secratary). class we are going over reflexive verbs which i'm not sure if we have in english or not. after class i'm gonna come back to the dorm make dinner and pack for the trip to graz tomarrow. i'm not gonna bring my laptop, but i will bring a note book and pencil so i'll transcribe if i have to.

the weather is getting colder and rainier. its supose to rain every day this week and the temp is supose to be between 44 and 34. i'm guessing from the fact that all the locals are already wearing their winter coats that this is a cold as its gonna get. if so i should be fine with my long underwear and fleece jackets.

were going to graz this week end. we are gonna take the train (train ride = 3 hours). then we have a 1.5 hour city tour and free dinner. then the rest of the evening free. the next day we have some kinda ride thhrough the wine land. (the schedual is in german but it doesn't translate well) (for about 6 hours) then we leave graz at 5..30 and arrive back in vienna at 8:00pm .
i'm lokking forward to the train ride. hopfully this time i won't be stressed out or have to hold my bike and stand the whole time. so i can just sit back and enjoy the ride.

i'm not gonna bring my laptop. just gonna bring the essentails.
snack food
hygene and health stuff
alarm clock
austria book
italy book
music player
pocket knife
notebook
water bottle
camera
TRAIN TICKET THING
and a t-shirt

this should all fit easily into my messenger bag.

i was planning on going to the naschmarkt to get some jalepeno peppers but it looks like i will have no time. (i don't need them till monday anyway.) i found out that yellow and red bell peppers really arn't that hot. and the chilli powder i got is not hot either. i have ground cayan pepper but that isn't really as hot as it makes you cough after eating it. i figure if i slice up some jalapenoe peppers and add then to the other vegitables it will spice it up quit a bit.

i had tuna noodle cassorol for lunch and dinner yesterday. i had history class right aafter german so i brought left overs to class. it was kinda funny the prof. kept looking at it. (of course the container is orange and when ever he gets stuck on how to translate a word he looks at brightly colored things. (ie. my coat, my tuperware, emilies shirt, pictures on the walls, ect.)

the trees are all changing colors here. its pretty. next weekend i would like to go to this place i heard about. its a big tower you can go up and look at the city. i'm hoping to see the hills outside of vienna.
